Fuel Keep, Ice for heads and any other tips ?

This was going to be my next question. Who has checking lifters for a Mitsubishi motor? lol Also, I cant carry a cylinder head bench around with me to pull the springs off of a little dohc style head like that... The push on t handle keeper deals would work with stock springs, but not the springs that I am running. We tried last week to install with the t handle tool and it was a no go. Im sure I can make something to work with a conventional spring compressor, but just asking.

Jimi, Give Tim Smith a Calll at LSM they now make a very adjustable spring removal
tool that is very nice, Not sure if it will work on your application but call Tim and he might
be able to help you out...

Keep your fuel in a dark color jug, like the dark blue ones. Get the ones that have an O ring in the cap, and store them always in the trailer, out of direct sun.

Chris, I heard through the grapevine that Mr. Jeff supplied the checking lifters to NHRA. ??? You can get a handy spring compressor from Miller Tool thats made for our Hemi's.

Besides fuel keep, ice and any other tips? Ditch the girls and get a crew chief.

I know a lot of racers that would swap you their crew chief for the girls.
